ELECTIONS.


Spring elections were held Tuesday
in u number os States, mostly munich
pal. The great interest was in Chica-
go,where the United Labor Party made
a fight for mayor. Roche, the Repub.
lican candidate, was elected by nearly
10000 majority. the Democrats voting
for Roche to beat the labor candidate.
under the cry of "anarchist" and 80.
cialist." Nelson. the Labor candidate,
polled 22,s47 votes.
In Cincinnati the vote was: Republi.
can, 1868: Labor Party, II 1867; Dem
ocratic, 1851.
In Dubuque, Iowa, the Labor can.
didate was elected mayor by 700 ma
jority.
Michigan is reported Republican by
plurality of 10000.
Toledo, Ohio, went Republican, and
Cleyeland Democratic.
The ADVANCE regrets that there are
Prohibitionists who still say that the
ADVANCE went back on them at the
recent election. When did the AD.
VANCE 90 with them? We favored
movement for a union, business ticket,
leaving the temperance issue out. We
stated in the conference meeting that
we favored such a movement if it
could be made general, but we regret
ted to say, after u pretty thorough can
vass of the town, that it could not be
made so. We stated further that the
high license men who favored the
movement stood where the man stands
who has nomination rendered him
and who declines to accept or to have
anything to do with it, unless it can
be made general and contest avoided.
Our real estate dealers are complain =
ing good deal about some of the far
mers who they claim make it a point
to undervaIue the lands of this section
and to interfere thus with making
sales to newcomers at prices which are
still below the real value of the land,
and considerably below the rates in
Osceola and other adjoining counties.
1t Is fact that where all are united
in holding lands at their full value,
and IN assisting each other to make
sales instead Of interfering to prevent
them, there is much more rapid i'm
provement and development of the
country. If farmers would assist real
estate agents instead of fighting them
they could sell out at much better fig.
ures when they want to.

FREE TRADE.


The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking off OF revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
is we'll as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduc.
tiOn of th,rty.six cents per dozen has
been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies.
thereby giving one: fifth more medicine
in the IS cent size. The August Flow.
er for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup, for Coughs
and Lung troubles, have. perhaps. the
largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage Of increased
size Of the bottles will be greatly appre.
ciated by the sick and afflicted in every
town and village in civilized countries.
Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the
same size. 2

Lands are held higher IN all the
counties around US than in our own
and hence they sell. The ADVANCE
has said for the last two or three years
that there is no other place in this part
Of the west where lands are 50 low
priced compared to their real value as
in Mobiles county. But it seems that
becomes u disadvantage instead of an
advantage to US. Our lands are rs
good rs any around us, and much bet
ter than most of them, but the fact
that they are 50 low-priced is used as
All indication that they are inferior.
We say to every farmer and real es-
tate man, put up the price of your
land to correspond with prices around
you.

The recent meeting at the Academy
of Music in New York and the great
address of DR.. McGlynn, the deposed
Catholic priest, marks another histori-
cal event, almost an epoch, IN the
great progressive movement of the peo.
pie toward emancipation. Like some
Of the meetings held in the antl-slav-
cry cause, it means much and will be-
come history. DR.. McGlynn pledged
the rest of his life to the work, and
comes squarely on the platform of the
religious liberals, viz: 1.-THE Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood of
Man." On this hangs all the law, all
the prophets and all the reform move
meDts of the day.

FOREVER.
They SAT together in the sun

They sat together in the sun
And Youth and Hope stood lowering near
Like dropping bell notes one by one
Chimed the glad moments soft and clear;
And still amid their happy speech.
The lovers whispered each TO each,
Forever
Youth spread his wings OF rainbow light,
FAREWELL he whispered as he went,
They needed not nor mourned his fight,
Wrapped in their measureleSs content:
And still they smiled, and still was heard
The confidently uttered word
Forever
Hope stayed, her steadfast smile was sweet,
Until the event time she stayed;
Then. with reluctant, noiseless feet
She stole into the solem shade;
graver fate moved gently by,
And bent and murmured warningly
''Forever,''
And then-where sat the two, sat onel
Novoice spoke back, no glance replied,
Behind her, where she rested lone
lowered the spectre, sOlemn-eyed;
She met his look without thrill
And smiling family, whispered still
Forever"
o, sweet, sweet Youth. o, fading Hope!
O. eyes by fearful mists made blind!
o, hands which vainly reach and grops
For familiar touch and kind,
Time pauseth for no lovers kiss;
Love for its solace has but this
Forever"

Leprosy in Louisiana.

For the last two or three years
the rumor has been current that
leprosy existed in the parish of st.
Martin. Acting upon information
received and a request from the
citizens of ST Martinsville, the
State board of health lately ap-
pointed a commission to investi-
gate the matter. This commission,
which was composed of fifteen
eminent physicians, submitted their
report on the I'd inst A synopsis
of their finding is given below:
We found all classes of citizens
anxious that an unsparing examination
should be made, and that neither leni-
ency nor fayors might be shown, but
the whole truth be established and
made known regardless of every other
consideration. Preparation had been
made by the local physicians with the
views of facilitating the work of your
commission.
The task was of laborious and ex-
acting kind; keeping the entire body
of medical exalniners-fifteen in num-
Extraordinarily engaged to the end:
not so much in the examination of
those persons who were diseased, as it
was in the critical inspection of the
very large number accused but found
to be perfectly healthy. In the final
conference the entire field of evidence
was carefully traversed; and the sub
stance of this report, as herein given,
was unanimously agreed upon.
We found three cases Of unmistakable
leprosy, and three showing symptoms
suspicious of that disease. Besides
these, there were reported tn us two
cases of native citizens, declared to
have leprosy. One of them--a white
male adult--a blood relative If Ave Of
the above mentioned cases, and now a
patient in private Institution in New
Orleans; the other a light mulatto
youth, Is in the Charity Hospital. In

The New Orleans newspapers
appear to labor under prejudice
similar to that of the Jews during
the time of Christ, when they be-
ieved of verify that nothing
good could come out of Nazareth.
So our city confreres are loath to
believe that anything good can
come from Colfax. They locate
our gold mines near Boyce, or any
other point away from Colfax, and
repeat the error of location with a
persistence that is simply marvel
GUS. Stick to Colfax all the time,
brother scribblers, and you will
always be within two or three
miles of gold.
